Question 1

Is this compatible with my AsRock b365m pro4?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea, because the B365m chipsets are not for overclocking, and the main specialty of the 9900k, is overclocking.

Question 2

It says no cooler device included.. does this mean "extra cooling components such as water cooling?".  It's been a while since I've installed a CPU so I need to know if I need to buy a separate heat sink or thermal paste?

Accepted Answer

yes you need to buy a heatsink/paste. there is no cooling solution in the box...just the CPU

Question 3

Does this have integrated graphics? I have all the parts I need other than the GPU and can't wait to build the PC.

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Intel Core i9-9900K has integrated graphics, specifically Intel UHD Graphics 630.

Question 4

I cannot view my Revit 3D file.  The software (Revit) says the requirements are  DirectX® 11 capable graphics card with Shader Model 5 and a minimum of 4GB of video memory

I don't know how to check my card to see if it meets these specs., but I have a Intel Core i9-9900K Coffe Lake 8-Core that says it has "Intel UHD Graphics 630"

Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

My motherboard is this one, the gigabyte Z390 aorus

GIGABYTE Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

What can I use to get my graphics working for this 3D file?

Accepted Answer

Buy a GPU. Your machine is running your CPU's integrated Graphics, which only supports DirectX 12.

Question 5

Is this CPU available without graphics?

Accepted Answer

It is available as the 9900KF version without graphics

Question 6

I have a GA-B250M-DS3H Mother board will this work with it?

Accepted Answer

Doubt this i9 will work since it requires a 300 series motherboard.

The Gigabyte web page says "Support for 7th and 6th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors/ Intel® Core™ i5 processors/Intel® Core™ i3 processors/ Intel® Pentium® processors/Intel® Celeron® processors in the LGA1151 package." and this is a 9th generation Intel processor.

The CPU supported list for this motherboard specifies KabyLake and SkyLake processors while this is a more recent CoffeeLake processor.

Question 7

Hello All - Will this work with my MSI B360M Bazooka? Thanks for your time....

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will work with 300 series, socket 1151 motherboards.  You'll probably want a liquid cooler to go with it however, because the processor runs a bit on the hot side without proper cooling.
